Chapter 35

The Five Ghost Dao Talisman is undoubtedly a diligent and hardworking foodie, there's no doubt about that.

As long as any energy enters Jiang Wei's soul, whether it's "eaten" or gained through cultivation, the Five Ghost Dao Talisman will unceremoniously "snatch" it!

Back then, outside the city, Jiang Wei hunted many souls, and nine-tenths of the energy was plundered by the Five Ghost Dao Talisman; if not for this, Jiang Wei's soul concentration would probably already be thirty to forty times that of an ordinary ghost! Of course, misfortune and fortune go hand in hand. If the Five Ghost Dao Talisman hadn't forcibly taken so much energy, Jiang Wei wouldn't have been suppressed by the Rabbit King, and thus wouldn't have comprehended the Insight Realm. Moreover, without the help of the Five Ghost Dao Talisman, Jiang Wei's soul wouldn't have been strengthened, and the "fat" on his soul wouldn't have had the chance to turn into "muscle."

Therefore, previously, Jiang Wei had both love and hate for the Five Ghost Dao Talisman; and he also had deep expectations for this mysterious talisman, hoping it would bring him some surprises.

However, after waiting for a long time, no surprises came, only astonishment.

Jiang Wei's cultivation speed of the "Nine Unraveling Soul Burning Technique" was not slow. He directly grasped the basics after just browsing through the cultivation manual. After grasping the basics, his cultivation speed was even more astonishing. Jiang Wei felt that he only needed to cultivate for one day to increase his soul concentration to the level of an ordinary ghost!

At this rate, it would take just three months for Jiang Wei to reach the Soul Condensation stage.

But in reality, after a month, Jiang Wei's soul concentration hadn't increased at all—none of it, all of it was eaten by the Five Ghost Dao Talisman, leaving him not even a drop of soup!

If it were under normal circumstances, Jiang Wei could still allocate some energy to himself; but during cultivation, he couldn't afford to be distracted. Thus, whatever energy Jiang Wei gained through cultivation, the Five Ghost Dao Talisman would eat it all, enjoying it thoroughly and leaving nothing for Jiang Wei!

Jiang Wei was truly in a difficult position! This kind of thing, if told to others, no one would believe it, because apart from himself, no other ghost could see the Five Ghost Dao Talisman tattooed on his chest. Helpless, every time Lin Nianluo came to check his progress, Jiang Wei could only say that he hadn't grasped the basics yet.

"Bro, I'm calling you bro, can't you leave me a little bit?" Jiang Wei was almost in tears. If this continued, wouldn't it mean that no matter what cultivation technique he practiced, he wouldn't gain any strength? And to gain strength, he would have to leave the city to "hunt souls."

Leaving the city to hunt the souls of other species is a matter of risking one's life. Among human ghosts, there are many Soul Condensation stage ghosts and even more near-Soul Condensation stage ghosts; would there not be such experts among the ghosts of other species?

If Jiang Wei encountered such an expert, he would probably be done for. Jiang Wei couldn't guarantee that the Five Ghost Dao Talisman would burst again at that time; or even if it did burst again, it might not necessarily save his life.

Leaving the city to hunt souls is a matter of risking one's life, a desperate way to increase strength chosen by ghosts with no other options. Jiang Wei, who now had a good life in Original Sin City with a promising future, wouldn't take such a risk.

But if he didn't take the risk, Jiang Wei's soul concentration wouldn't increase at all.

"Let's try cultivating again. If the Five Ghost Dao Talisman still snatches everything, I'll have to ask my master for help..." This couldn't go on forever, right?

So, Jiang Wei returned to his cultivation room, immediately sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate the "Nine Unraveling Soul Burning Technique."

The "Nine Unraveling Soul Burning Technique" is an extremely profound cultivation technique, said to be created by the head of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion. Mastering the first three stages can increase one's soul concentration to a hundred times that of an ordinary ghost, providing the capital to enter the Soul Condensation stage; mastering the first six stages can achieve the Great Success of the Soul Condensation stage, like Elder Bai and Elder Zhao, who are at this level of strength; and the last three stages, even Soul Condensation stage ghosts cannot cultivate, only super-strong ghosts at the "Fierce Ghost" level have the qualifications to cultivate!

It's no exaggeration to say that the "Nine Unraveling Soul Burning Technique" is enough for a ghost to study for a lifetime!

Jiang Wei followed the cultivation technique and began to cultivate. Soon, his soul seemed to transform into a vortex, and the minute energy particles in the surrounding space were sucked into Jiang Wei's soul under the vortex's powerful attraction.

Although the energy flowing into Jiang Wei's soul each minute was pitifully small, it was persistent! If it continued for a whole day, the accumulated energy would be equivalent to the total energy of an ordinary ghost!

However, as soon as the energy flowed into Jiang Wei's soul, it was immediately targeted by the Five Ghost Dao Talisman. Jiang Wei, who was fully immersed in cultivation, had no resistance. Without a doubt, all the energy ended up in the Five Ghost Dao Talisman's belly.

The Five Ghost Dao Talisman treated Jiang Wei's soul as its home, eating without the slightest restraint!

Although Jiang Wei sensed the energy flowing away, he couldn't afford to be distracted during cultivation to fight for the energy.

"It's been snatched again!" But Jiang Wei didn't immediately stop cultivating; he harbored a glimmer of hope, "Let's try for a day or two. Maybe the Five Ghost Dao Talisman will get full, and then it will be my turn to eat!"

Jiang Wei's thoughts were indeed quite spineless, but what could he do—when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head!

Jiang Wei cultivated for three days.

After three days, Jiang Wei realized he had made a major mistake—would a foodie ever get full?

No, if a foodie could get full, it wouldn't be a foodie!

Jiang Wei sadly discovered that after three days, it was still the same—no soup for him.

"What's the point of cultivating then!"

Just as Jiang Wei was about to stop cultivating, the Five Ghost Dao Talisman on his chest suddenly emitted a bright light.

"Damn, what's happening?" Jiang Wei was so scared that he stopped cultivating. The Five Ghost Dao Talisman was tattooed on his soul; if something went wrong, like an explosion, wouldn't he immediately be soul-scattered?

Jiang Wei was terrified but helpless.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei noticed that the bright light didn't seem to be a prelude to an explosion but rather something trying to squeeze out of the Five Ghost Dao Talisman.

"Did it eat something bad and now it's going to have diarrhea?" Jiang Wei shuddered; if it had diarrhea, wouldn't it directly defecate in his soul?—that would truly defile his soul!

But Jiang Wei had no resistance.

"You damn thing, you eat and drink from me, and now you want to defecate on me? How shameless!" Jiang Wei was furious.

Fortunately, the "diarrhea" Jiang Wei "expected" never appeared. The light from the Five Ghost Dao Talisman shone brightly for a moment and then subsided.

However, after the light subsided, Jiang Wei found that the incomprehensible symbols on the Five Ghost Dao Talisman had disappeared, replaced by a small golden figure radiating a faint golden light. The small golden figure seemed to be drawn on the talisman but moved and spoke like a real person—

"Are you my master? You're too stingy, you haven't given me a full meal for so long!"
